    POLICE TRIED TO PREVENT APRIL 24 PROCESSION OF OPPOSITION, RUZAN KHACHATRIAN SAYS

    YEREVAN, APRIL 25, NOYAN TAPAN. Policemen tried to prevent in every way
    the mourning procession of the opposition and to hinder the movement
    of procession participants on April 24, member of People'a Party of
    Armenia (PPA) board Ruzan Khachatrian said. She told NT correspondent
    that police neiher stopped traffic nor closed streets, as is usually
    done during processions with participation of many people and which was
    actually done at the April 23 torchlight procession organized by ARF
    "Nikol Abelyan" youth union. "A civilized way of ensuring security
    of the procession could have been chosen but the authorities are so
    frightened that they consider even a gathering of over 5 people as
    dangerous," she said.

    As for some press publications that the opposition used April 24
    to stage a protest, PPA member asked a response question: "Was it
    correct to hold an inauguration ceremony with a military parade and
    a concert with ballons on the 40th day after death of the March 1
    victims?" In her words, the authorities and the progovernment press
    use double standards both in terms of ensuring security of processions
    and respecting moral values.
